272 years ago, in 1754, another real estate speculator with an overblown sense of ego started a world war at Jumonville Glen. The bill for that war was presented to the people of the 13 Colonies and they revolted. Despite their not being able to properly unify to fight that war under the Albany Plan of Union. 26 years later, in 1776, they thought they were able to rule themselves, and started yet another war which bankrupted the nation and threw it into havoc.
They hastily cobbled together a Constitution in the hope that they could unify, but less than 100 years later, the US had another civil war. And now it looks as if the US may end up in another civil war under the leadership of another real estate billionaire and reality television star with an overblown ego.
The system is broken and only works for a few.
Trump's belief in the US being a world power may cause its downfall.
What exactly is the state of readiness of the US fleet in the Persian Gulf?
The United States needs to address its internal problems rather than be the world's bully. One is to learn its real history, not the myth. Wars cost money and are disruptive.
